if you thought the 1.9 is bad then the 2.0 wont suit you, its much less reliable.
What happened the Vectra? thought itd suit you fine...
To be fair i find most problems occur with cars is the previous owners, although irish people are notorious for neglecting cars.
Also using the wrong oil not specced highly enough for a car causes engine probs down the line (know for a fact of a local garage that puts 10w40 semi synth in everything) despite whats specced.
The 1.6 tdci/hdi problems seem to develop from incorrect oil and servicing, clogging the whole system and starving the turbo from oil, people replace the turbo but new one soon pops because all breathers and lines havent been cleared and new trbo is starved the same way.
to be honest though any new car i buy id be ripping out the dpf and mapping it out at the first sign of trouble, they seem to cause more hassle for engine and emissions savings arent that much greater imo
